ART DECO CERAMICS IN BRITAIN,
, Suffolk, Antique Collector's Club, 2008, Bound, blue cloth with gold impression, illustrated dustjacket, illustrated inner platters, frontispice in colour, 225 x 280mm., 264pp., beautiful colour illustration troughout.
This book focuses on the art deco ceramics that were produced by the British pottery industry during the late twenties and early thirties. It covers all the important aspects of the popular style from its origins in France, its breakthrough in Britain and how the style took on during the early thirties. The background of art deco is examined and how it developed in France during the early part of the twentieth century: how European designers created new shapes and patterns and how these ideas eventually made their way into British design. Art Deco Ceramics in Britain looks at the well-established factories such as Josiah Wedgwood and Sons Ltd and Minton who produced the top of the range wares for the upper classes and how they were forced, due to market forces, to produce art deco styled wares. At the same time the smaller factories were able to respond quickly to the art deco style, using hand painted decoration, which was an important feature of art deco patterning with the big names such as Clarice Cliff and Susie Cooper still being well known today. Also documented in the book are concise, yet comprehensive biographies of many smaller factories that are not so well known today. This listing provides an invaluable source for or ideas for new areas of collecting. New book.
Chiparus Master of Art Deco.
, ACC Art Books, 2019 Hardcover with dusjacket,336 Pages: 288, Illustrations: 342 colour, 324 x 273 mm, . ISBN 9781788840637.
One of the most important sculptors of the Art Deco era, Dem tre Chiparus (1886-1947) was a Romanian sculptor who lived and worked in Paris. This book is a stunning monograph covering the most iconic of the Art Deco sculptors. It delves into his work both as a sculptor and a painter This new and updated edition adds new figures as well as historic documents. Of particular interest is the discovery of the long-lost marble figure Polar Bear last seen over 75 years ago in Paris, where it was exhibited for the first and last time at the 1943 Salon des Artistes Fran ais. Accompanying images of this important discovery are presented in this edition for the very first time. Over 26 years ago the first publication of Chiparus: Master of Art Deco brought this artist into the public eye. His name, lost in records and catalogues, was rejuvenated by Alberto Shayo's rediscovery of his works, effectively bringing artist and oeuvre back to life. The book dwells on the sources and inspiration of the Art Deco movement, with particular emphasis on sculptures created by Dem tre Chiparus.

Art Déco: Egyptomanie.
<div id="tab-1" data-mce-fragment="1"><p data-mce-fragment="1">Publié à l’occasion des 100 ans de la découverte de la tombe de Toutankhamon et des 200 ans du déchiffrage de la pierre de Rosette, ce livre répond à un engouement et une curiosité toujours considérables pour l’Égyptomanie. Ce concept renvoie à un imaginaire collectif suscité par le songe, qui a été nourri tout au long des XIXe et XXe siècles par les fouilles archéologiques et les grands voyages. Ces découvertes majeures ont été un terreau fertile pour la création et particulièrement pour les artistes Art déco qui trouvèrent dans ses lignes et ses motifs, l’inspiration.</p><p data-mce-fragment="1">Art déco Égyptomanie explore les origines et le fonctionnement de ce processus culturel et artistique, façonné par une multitude de champs. Publique, funéraire ou même ésotérique, l’architecture en est un témoin majeur. Le cinéma parisien le Louxor, du nom de la ville éponyme arbore dès 1921, des formes et des décors empruntés au monde des pharaons. Figures monumentales protégeant le canal de Suez ou bestiaire d’inspiration égyptienne, les sculpteurs prennent part au jeu. L’art populaire qui s’immisce dans la maison en est également imprégné : bougeoirs et pendulettes sont décorés d’oeil d’Horus et de fleurs de lotus. Affiches, décors et costumes pour les arts de la scène se mettent au goût du jour, quant au même moment, Claudette Colbert incarne Cléopâtre. Enfin, les créations des grandes maisons telles que Lanvin ou Cartier associent dans leurs modèles, l’antique et l’esprit des années 20. Art déco Égyptomanie est agrémenté d’une iconographie explicite et inédite et s’inscrit dans la collection Art déco, déjà composé de deux livres : 1925, quand l’Art déco séduit le monde et Art déco France-Amérique du Nord.</p></div> Paris, 2022 Norma 272 p., cartonnage éditeur. 24 x 29,5

Art Deco and other Figures.
, Antique Collecters' Club, 2003 Hardback, dusjacket, 288 mm x 220 mm., Pages: 400., Illustrations: 121 colour, 1,133 b&w., New. ISBN 9781851493821.
This important book, now available in a revised edition, contains the most complete range of art deco figures ever published. It is based partly on the original importers' catalogues and partly on the wide range of pieces handled by the author Bryan Catley - the leading specialist in the subject. Between the wars an entirely modern style of decorative sculpture emerged which was a complete break with the heavy romantic late nineteenth century schools, and was totally in sympathy with the vibrant young society of the 1920s. The use of bronze and ivory for a great number of these sensual figures in no way obscures the fact that many are of exceptionally high quality; add to this their sense of movement and rhythm and one realises that the large sums they now command is a reflection of a discriminative international collectors market. Bryan Catley's original interest in the subject was fired when he inherited an art deco figure from his late grandmother's art collection. During his student days at engineering college and after he was inspired to go on and buy every figure he could afford. Later he and John Sparrow set up the business known as 'Catspa' which, for many years before their retirement, was synonymous with Art Deco sculpture.
